THE WOOL QUESTION.

think it may be fairly assumed that d
large portion OF the sheep owned by the
farmers throughout the country are found
in small hocks numbering from twenty-five
TO fifty. The duty on the grade OF imported
wool which these sheep yield is ten cents
each pound if OF the value OF thirty cents or
less. and twelve cents if Of the yalus Of more
than thirty cents. II the liberal estimate Of
six pounds be allowed for each fleece, the
duty thereon would be sixty or seyenty-two
cents, and this may be taken as the utmost
enhancement of its price 10 the farmer by
reason of this duty. Eighteen dollars would
thus represent the increased price Of the wool
from twenty five sheep and $50 that from the
wool Of fifty sheep; ana at present values
this addition would amount to about one

Drawing the Color x.ine.
ATLANTA Constitution


A number of prominent colored men
have made arrangements for holding na-
tiOnal convention of their race in Indian
apolis some time during the summer. The
projectors are mainly from the north, and
the convention Is to be held mainly for the
purpose of organizing the colored voters
and preparing for the next national cam.
psign.
Some of our exchanges are pointing to
this project as an attempt to keep up the
color line, the convention being for the
purpose of organizing the negroes as a race
party. We have frequently remarked this
tendency on the part of the colored voters.
Though they deprecate the dra wing of the
color line By the whites, they never heless
keep 1t up for political purposes OF their
own, and propose to make party capital
out Of ii.
1t is q very foolish affair altogether, Just
as a convention of Irishmen or Germans
would be; but the negro, both north and
south, has a vague idea that his race is a
The idea is the result, and perhaps the
natural result, of the circumstances that
have attended the history of the negro race
since freedom, but it is very vicious idea
in some important respects, and its effect
on the future of the negroes is not auspic-
ious.
Still it is q matter that only time can
remedy. After awhile tae c0lOred brother
will recognize that citizenship is a more
important affair than race affiliations, aud
then we shall hear nothing more OF the
color line as political factor.

the Wyoming Stock Association, of Chey-

which has been going on for several years.
This scheme has been formed Tor organic
ing the largest cattle company ever known,
controlling hundreds of thousands OF cat

The failure Of the Swan Brothers brought
matters to focus rather unexpectedly
The plan is to unite the Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Eastern Utah, Western Nebraska,
Southern Montana, and Southern Dakota
into one giant company, each abso-
lutely surrendering his individual
herd and ranch, and receiving a pro-
portionate amount of stock in re-
turn. A similar association has been re-
Gently formed in Texas, but one of far less
extent and complete in its organization.

time will thus be entirely obviated, and

AS foreshadowed by the Sentinel, the ap-

friends of Mr.. Carson were in the city urg-

papers DR.. Harrison, who has looked
forward to such event and has been n the
city the week past receiving ad-
vice from friends and getting ready
for the fray, will, OF course, resist. The
matter will be taken to the courts at once.
Governor Gray gives the same reasons that
he gave for the appointment of Mr.. Flack
DR.. Harrison has held the Office for four
years and his term of Office, the Governor
says has expired. "There is no hold-over

Colonel II. a. Chadwick recently told
little story about General Grant that

I'm 1864 General Grant was good deal
at headquarters in Washington. He
loved fast horse, and he thought the big
| chestnut Cincinnatus he then drove
would take the dust from no other in

along the road on the outskirts of the
town when he noticed a rough-looking
gray horse trottiDg along to a two-wheeled
butcher-wagon filed with meat. The
General few past the wagon, but the gray
| Just set back his ears and the way he made
the mud fly along that road was just az

| Grants buggy, he pulled his head to the
hind wheels, and his forequarters were
soon patteriDg along in a swift, never
breaking trot near the heels of the great
| CincinDatus. Grant got mad and used his
whip, the butcher driver laughed wicked
| ly and held the reins taut on the gray,
| and the meat.wagon, iolting and jumping,
| showered the dirt from its wheels over the
| General and into the nose OF the horse he
thought could not be beat.
"Next morning early little Webster,
| Grants staff, came over TO me and said:
| Chad, the old man is as mad as sheol this
morning. he was out on the road yester-
day, and got beat by gray horse dragging
load Of beef. Now be wants that horse,

New Stock Law.


The new stock law enacted by the last
Legislature makes it the duty of the Super
visors TO take up and impound all stock
that is found upon the public highways,
and in case of failure or neglect of this
duty they are liable to heavy fine. 1t is
no matter whether the stock has only
broken from an enclosure or has been in
tentIonally turned upon the commons, its
presence on the roads without the owner is
sufficient to warrant the Supervisor in TAX
ing it into custody and holding it until the
fines imposed are fully paid. The right to
allow stock to run at large on the high
ways has been greatly abused. Farmers
have been put to great trouble and expense
in fencing their enclosures effectually
against q cow or two that some one
was pasturing upon the roads. Every
man was compelled to keep his gates con-
stantly closed and barred lest a drove Of
hogs or a flock of sheep should raid his
premises. 1t was this that made the peo-
pie call for q stock law. The last legisla-
ton upon this subject is the most severe
and effective of any yet passed, aud, as
might be expected, is not giving universal
satisfaction. The man who has horse or
q COW TO keep and no pasture thinks it an
outrage to be compelled to keep ii up in
dry pen while the road-sides are covered
with high grass and his imme-
date neighbors enter no protest
against his stock running out, and
Others think ii equally unjust
stock that has broken out or left on the
roads by accident should be run in and
held for fines. Under the new law the SUI
pervisor is compelled 10 take up stock
whether there is any complaint made or
not. While the law may be too severe. 1t
makes q sure thing and leaves no loop-hole
through which the transgressor may crawl
out.
Whether or not this law is Just one, or
whether 1t is what il ought. TO be, it is bet
ter to abide by It than to disregard 1t. ALI
